All fellows will work 16 hours per week in the library and receive a $18,000 stipend (subject to adjustment by LGS). The five Woodruff/ECDS Graduate fellows identify a primary area of interest, either Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library (MARBL); Subject Librarian/Collection Management Services; Education and Outreach, or the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship (Data or Digital Humanities).

The dissertation completion fellow in MARBL will focus on the organization, management, and access of rare book and archival materials. The Outreach & Education fellow will partner with the Writing Center programs to help improve student research projects. The subject librarian fellow can propose a variety of projects, based on the fellow’s skills and strengths, that deal with library services or collections. Finally, the two ECDS fellows will work with either data or digital humanities.

In addition to the MARBL fellow mentioned above, LITS is also accepting applications for the Anne & Bill Newton Fellowship, generously funded by the Newton family. This fellow will help in researching, designing, and assessing alternative instruction models in connection with MARBL’s instruction program. Unlike the Woodruff/ECDS Graduate fellows, the Newton fellow is not required to finish their dissertation during the 9 month fellowship period.

Like the Newton fellow, the Beck fellow is not required to finish their dissertation during the 9 month fellowship period.
